I mentioned this on a post earlier and someone said they had exactly the same thing. Well, I told my doc and he said its adrenaline running through the body caused by anxiety. I asked when it would stop ( along with the constant feeling sick thing ) and he said when the anti depressants kick in, it should calm down then so possibly a month!! i never knew that you could feel so cold because youre anxious. How strange is that!!!

yes, seriously. ive had the sick feeling before when Ive been ultra stressed out, but never constant. And ive also had the feeling cold thing... but again not constant. Its the fight or flight thing apparantly. Im glad I know though cos it was beginning to scare me.
Something else he told me was that you can psychologically bring on chest pain when you have depression. Again, how weird! But very true. i had chest pains a few weeks back, went to A&E and everything came back clear. its amazing what our bodies can fool us into lol

wow... I'm always cold too... I think it may be because I can't get my radiator to work though. But I was never cold when I was on meds. That sounds weird...

Alixe...ive only been diagnosed today as having depression. These are just some of the symptons that I have had and which my doc says are classic signs of depression :)
The meds sort it all out again apparantly once your body and mind start to regulate again properly

That is the first I have heard of that. I guess that anything is possible. I had been told that anxiety was causing right side numbness and tingling on my face,arm and leg and chest pounding. so why not chills and cold.

Hey duno, I think that is called phantom pains. they actually feel pain from the missing limb. that is crazy isnt it? I am glad to see you back.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
